Nassau County police arrested Stein and Honkala for trying to attend the debate without credentials, blocking traffic and refusing to leave.

'If you have done the work to get on the ballot, if you are on the
ballot and could actually win the electoral college by being on the
ballot in enough states, then you deserve to be in the election and you
deserve to be heard,' Stein told the police and press.

Scroll down for video.

Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein (pictured right) and Vice-Presidential candidate Cheri Honkala are stopped and arrested for attempting to gain access to the campus of Hofstra University, site of the second of three presidential debates between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

Hold it: Stein (center) and Honkala (right) are stopped by police and swarmed by reporters after they were stopped after trying to attend the presidential debates.

'The American people deserve to hear choices which are
not bought and paid for by multinational corporations and Wall Street. This is
why we are not hearing the critical issues in this debate.'

They two candidates then sat down outside the hall, draped in an American flag.

Nassau County police warned that they would be arrested
for blocking traffic if they did not leave, according toThe Long Island
Report.
